Battery Backup Surge Protection
These outlets are powered whenever the Back-UPS is switched ON. During a power outage, or other utility problems (brownouts, over-voltages), these outlets will be powered for a limited time by the Back-UPS. Plug computer, monitor and other critical electronic devices into these outlets. Connect AC Power Cord Plug the Back-UPS power cord into a wall outlet, not a surge protector or power strip. The outlet should be near the equipment and easily accessible.

Place the Back-UPS to avoid: Direct sunlight Excessive heat Excessive humidity or contact with fluids

Battery backup and surge protected outlets

Press ON/OFF to turn on the unit. A single short beep, and the green Power On indicator confirms that the Back-UPS is on and ready to provide protection.

Upon initial operation, allow the Back-UPS to charge for 8-10 hours in the OFF position. This will ensure the battery is fully The Back-UPS ES indicates its operating status using a combination of visual and audible indicators. charged and that you will receive the full amount of runtime (Your Use the following table to identify the status of the Back-UPS ES Back-UPS will recharge when connected to utility power whether the unit is powered ON or OFF).

Adjusting Transfer Voltage and Sensitivity Settings


Automatic Voltage Regulation boosts the utility voltage when it drops below safe levels. This allows the equipment plugged into the unit to operate during low voltage conditions, conserving the battery power in the event of a power cut. The Back-UPS will switch to battery power if the input voltage level becomes too low for the Automatic Voltage Regulation to compensate, or if the utility power is distorted. If the Back-UPS switches to battery power too frequently or too infrequently, adjust the transfer voltage and sensitivity settings: 1. Ensure the Back-UPS is off. Plug it into utility power. 2. Press and hold ON/OFF until the LED repeatedly flashes. The unit is now in Program Mode. 3. Release the button. The LED will flash once, twice, or three times per second, indicating the current setting. See Transfer Voltage and Sensitivity Settings. 4. Press ON/OFF within two seconds to change the setting. Each time the button is pressed, the LED will flash at a different rate: once, twice, or three times per second, indicating the new setting. Continue pressing the button until the desired setting is reached. If the button is not pressed within five seconds, the Back-UPS will exit the Program Mode. 5.To exit Program Mode, release the button and wait for the LED to stop flashing.

Usage
The Back-UPS will switch to battery power less often. Use with equipment that is not sensitive to low or high voltage levels or minor voltage waveform distortions. Use either this setting or "Medium" transfer voltage setting when powering the Back-UPS with a generator. Default, use in normal conditions. Use either this setting or "Low" transfer voltage setting when powering the Back-UPS with a generator. The Back-UPS will switch to battery power during any small fluctuation in voltage. Use with equipment that is sensitive to low or high voltage levels or minor voltage waveform distortions.

Turn on the Unit

Troubleshooting
Problem
Back-UPS will not turn on.

Probable Cause
Circuit Breaker has tripped. Utility power is not available at the wall outlet.

Solution
Reduce the amount of equipment plugged into the Battery Backup + Surge Protection outlets. Reset the circuit breaker by pushing it back in. Ensure the fuse or circuit breaker for the wall outlet is okay, and the wall switch controlling the wall outlet (if any) is in the ON position. Ensure the equipment plugged into the outlets of the unit are not overloading the capacity of the unit. Try disconnecting some of the equipment one device at a time, and see if the problem continues. The unit can only operate on battery power for a limited amount of time. The unit will eventually turn off when the available battery power has been used. Allow the unit to recharge for 10 hours before continuing to use the unit. The output waveform is designed for computers and computer-related equipment. It is not designed for use with motor-type equipment. Contact APC Technical Support for further troubleshooting. The unit is operating normally and using battery power. Save any current work, turn off all equipment, and turn the unit OFF. Once normal power is restored, turn the unit back ON, and turn on all equipment. The unit is about to shut down due to a low battery charge condition! When the unit beeps once every second, the battery has about 2 minutes of power remaining. Immediately power down your computer, and turn the unit OFF. When power returns to normal, the unit will recharge the battery. Allow the unit to charge by leaving it switched OFF and plugged in for 10 hours. As a battery ages, the amount of runtime available will decrease. Batteries also age prematurely if the unit is placed near excessive heat. If the battery will not charge, the Back-UPS is no longer operable.

Connected equipment loses power.

The Back-UPS is overloaded.

The Back-UPS has exhausted its available battery power. The equipment connected to the Back-UPS does not accept the step-approximated sine waveform from the unit. The Back-UPS may require service. The ON/OFF button is lit, and the unit is beeping four times every 30 seconds, or it is emitting a constant tone. The unit is using battery.

The On/Off button flashes once Battery capacity is low (there is about 2 per second, and the Back-UPS minutes of use remaining). beeps once per second at the same time. Inadequate runtime. The battery is not fully charged. The battery is near the end of useful life.
